Tucky is built in the open. Bugs and feature requests go straight to the tracker, where you can see what has already been raised and what is being worked on.

Open an issue on GitHub. Include your macOS version and what you were doing when it went wrong — it gets fixed faster that way.

Every release lists what is new and what is fixed. Run the install command again to update to the latest version.

The install script and the app itself are public. Look before you run it — with a tool that hears everything you say, that is the point.

What does the install command actually do?
The command downloads and runs install.sh from the public repository, then installs the Mac app in Applications. Review the script before running it. AI model downloads need additional disk space and an internet connection.
Which Macs are supported?
The current Mac installer requires macOS 14 or later and Apple Silicon. It rejects Intel Macs. Allow several GB for model downloads; the total depends on the speech and language models you select.
Can I install it with Homebrew?
No. There is no Homebrew formula, and brew install tucky will not find anything — the Terminal command on this page is the only supported way to install on macOS. If you find a package elsewhere claiming to be Tucky, it did not come from us.
How do I update to a new version?
Run the same install command again. It replaces the app with the current release and keeps your existing recordings, transcripts, and settings. The releases page lists what changed in each version, so it is worth a look before updating.
Where is my data stored, and how do I remove it?
The app keeps recordings, transcripts, and its index locally. Back up what you need before deleting the app and its data folder. Exports, Google Drive uploads, and copies shared with other tools must be managed separately.
Is there a Windows version?
Windows is a development build, not a fully supported release. The full capture workflow is macOS-first; do not assume Windows feature parity. Check the Windows development notes before trying a build.
